\"WoundedWarrior\"<\/a>Many thanks to Ulis for sharing this article from Radio World<\/em><\/a> about pirate radio broadcaster,\u00a0Dr. Benway (of Undercover Radio<\/a>), and his quest to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project Inc<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here is an excerpt from the interview:<\/p>\n

“Recently Dr. Benway began offering T-shirts, featuring his station logo, for sale on the fundraising website booster.com. While the shirts promote the station, the proceeds, Benway says, will go to the Wounded Warrior Project to help veterans who have been injured in combat overseas.<\/p>\n

This type of fundraising is unusual for a pirate radio operator, but there is nothing illegal about selling shirts and booster.com handles all the orders and shipping, making the entire process anonymous.<\/p>\n

\u201cI selected the Wounded Warrior Project Inc. because I have been involved in other efforts with them over the years,\u201d he said. \u201cIt just seemed like a natural fit. Pirate operators fight for free speech, and our warriors fight for the freedom of our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Wounded Warrior Project serves warriors and their families through a holistic approach, nurturing the mind and body of injured soldiers. According to the WWP website, it hopes to \u201cfoster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation\u2019s history.\u201d<\/p>\n
